Sadly very difficult to catch these criminals. They can be based anywhere in the world. |

Would a reputable legal company (or any company for that matter) have a Yahoo email address? |

It angers me that everyday someone tries to rip me off with some scam or other but government just shrugs and says nothing to be done. |

If you want to see similar messages to the one received (FYI) .... have a look at this (contains the OP one, as well) - but I wouldn't bother opening them :-D |

If you ever receive an email and are not sure whether it is genuine or not, one option is to look up the IP address from which it came. |
